US rapper Chris Brown arrived with singer Rihanna in the Ivory Coast city Abidjan today Sunday, when he was due to perform at an African music awards show.

Brown was billed as the star attraction at the glitzy Kora Awards, dubbed the “African Grammys”, that recognise musical achievements from around the continent.
